I have set up moderators to moderate different sections of my forum. They are able to edit and delete others posts. However I have just noticed that they are also able to view and edit other users profiles. How can I prevent the moderators from doing so? I have tried but cannot find a way. I am using the latest version of WWF.

I don't think there is a way in the current version. You would have to mod that.

Replace the entire section in register.asp after

'********************************************
'*** Check and setup page for admin mode ***
'********************************************

with:

'If the admin mode is enabled see if the user is an admin
If blnAdminMode AND blnAdmin = False Then

Set rsCommon = Nothing
adoCon.Close
Set adoCon = Nothing

Response.Redirect("insufficient_permission.asp?FID=" & intForumID)
End If

Now moderators can not view or edit member profiles anymore. You may also want to remove the 'edit profile' button from the member popup profiles by changing the (I guess that it looks that way)

If blnAdmin OR blnModerator then.....display 'edit profile button'

to:

If blnAdmin then.....display 'edit profile button'
